Today, Team Sweden announced their preliminary roster for the 2019 World Junior Championships camp. They have both of the Marlies young Swedish defenders: Timothy Liljegren and Rasmus Sandin, as expected, but Pontus Holmberg joins the team as well.
So far, five Leafs prospects are on the rosters for this tournament with Ian Scott and Filip Kral already named to their national teams.
The Swedish team has eight defenders and 14 forwards, although one more is expected to be added, so there will be some cuts. Joining Holmberg in the class of players who worked their way onto the roster is draft-eligible Nils Höglander.
